After just several weeks as director of Jackson County Emergency Services, Dove, long-time paramedic, asked the county to be reassigned to his previous post as staff paramedic, he said in a letter to County Manager Crandall Jones.

"I have come to realize that my best area of service is in the clinical setting," Dove wrote in the June 9 letter.
